Chapter 896 Dallin Asked Sydney to Forgive Greta

What interested Sydney was that when Dallin mentioned Julien's mother, the affection and nostalgia in his eyes seemed genuine.

'Does Dallin still love Julien's mother?

'But so what? Even though he loves Julien's mother, he betrayed her.

'Julien's mother is dead. What's the point of showing such affection?

'It won't touch anyone, except himself.

'It makes me sick!'

Just as Sydney was thinking, Dallin spoke again.

He twirled the ring on his thumb when he smiled apologetically at Sydney, "Sorry. Old men like me like to reminisce about the past. You must be bored."

Sydney gave a faint smile, "Not at all, but we should get down to business."

What Sydney meant was that she didn't want to waste time listening to Dallin's past stories. She wasn't interested in his past. She'd rather not hear about it.

Dallin understood Sydney’s implication. He still had the smile on his face, but it was superficial.

Dallin stretched out one hand to Neil. Neil immediately bent towards Dallin and held an arm-length cane to Dallin with both hands.

Dallin took the stick and then placed his hands on the dragon's head on the top of the cane.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

With the crane in his hand, Dallin now looked powerful and superior. He no longer looked like a mild old man.

'This's the real Dallin, isn't it?'

Sydney compressed her lips. And she became wary.

Dallin showed his true color at this moment, which clearly indicated that he was about to get serious.

Sydney certainly had to be careful not to fall into Dallin's trap.

Dallin was over twenty years older than Sydney and had been running Sullivan Corporation for over ten years. This man was an old fox, and Sydney was too young to be a match for him. If she was not cautious enough, Dallin would have the upper hand.

At the same time, Sydney was looking forward to confronting such an old fox, so she could broaden her view and improve herself.

This was a rare opportunity.

Sydney took a long breath to calm herself down and not panic.

'I can't let Dallin get the upper hand.' Sydney clenched her palms and lowered her eyes to keep herself calm. She wouldn't let Dallin see her nervousness.

Dallin had no idea what was going through Sydney's mind. He fumbled with the dragon's head on his cane and had a gentle face, but actually, he was surprised at how calm Sydney was.

He had deliberately given off a powerful aura in order to intimidate the young woman and gain the upper hand in the negotiation.

However, Sydney was not intimidated by him. Usually, even a man would be intimidated by him when he put on such a look.

'Whether she’s pretending it or not, it was remarkable that she was calm enough to confront me. She's an amazing young woman.

'Too bad she's on Julien's side!'

Dallin narrowed his eyes slightly and then put on a smile. "Ms. Raines, I learned what happened between you and my daughter. Everything is Greta's fault. I apologize on her behalf."

Sydney's eyes twinkled. "Mr. Sullivan, you're a reasonable man and a great father. You can see it was Greta's fault, but Greta..."

Sydney sneered, "I'm not sure what’s going on in Greta's head."

She pointed to her head and continued, "Greta doesn't think she's at fault at all. In her mind, it's my fault and she's not responsible. I can't believe Greta is your daughter."

Whether Dallin's apology was sincere or not, his admission that it was Greta's fault showed that he was a more reasonable person than Greta.

Even though Dallin said those words for Greta’s sake, Sydney took comfort in it.

When Sydney said 'I can't believe Greta is your daughter’, Dallin lowered his eyes and gripped his cane tighter. "It's my fault. I wasn't a good father. Greta was sent away when she was little and she didn't get a decent education, so she misbehaved sometimes. It is my responsibility. In the future, I will educate her and try to improve her character. Ms. Raines, will you give Greta a chance?" Dallin raised his eyes to Sydney. His gentle eyes sharpened.

Sydney pretended that she didn't understand the undertone of Dallin's words. She smiled and replied, "Mr. Sullivan, it's your right to educate your daughter. Why are you asking me to give Greta a chance? You must be joking."

The smile disappeared from Dallin's face, and his face darkened. Sydney continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Sullivan, you can take Greta home and educate her after she serves her sentence."

Dallin wanted Sydney to let Greta go, but Sydney wouldn't. She pretended she didn't get Dallin's point. She was determined to piss off Dallin to avenge Julien's mother.

Although Sydney didn't like Julien's mother very much, they were both women.

Girls helped girls, and one girl would support another when there was injustice done to a girl.

Seeing Dallin's face darken at what Sydney said, Sydney was happy inside, although she was a little nervous.

She annoyed Dallin.

Dallin tightened his grip on his cane as if he were going to crush it.

The gentle look in his eyes was completely gone. Only a threatening look was in his eyes. "Ms. Raines, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying?"

Sydney realized instantly that Dallin was going to be straightforward with her.

She took a breath and asked, "Mr. Sullivan, what do you mean? What am I supposed to understand?" She continued to pretend to be dumb.

Anyway, she wouldn't admit that she was playing dumb.

As long as she didn't admit it, he couldn't blame her.

"Since you don't understand me, forget about it." Dallin was exasperated, but he did not break her down. His smile became more threatening, "Let me be straight with you. Ms. Raines, will you forgive my daughter if I ask you? I will pay for all your losses. Whatever you want, tell me! As long as I can get that, I won't let you down. What do you think?" Dallin stared at Sydney with narrowed eyes.

Sydney tugged her hair as she asked, "Really? Name anything that I want?"

"Of course." Dallin nodded. He gave an arrogant expression and a contemptuous look in his eyes as if he was talking to a beggar.
